Burragula lookout is widely regarded as one of Sydney’s best viewpoints, with panoramic views over the entrance to Sydney Harbour and the open Pacific Ocean, with dramatic sandstone cliffs dropping to the water below. Easily reached via the Fairfax Walk, it is a popular spot for taking in ocean views and watching migrating whales during the season.
